I like the concept, but the very first Javascript problem statement starts this way:

  Bob is a lackadaisical teenager. In conversation, his responses are very limited.

  Bob answers 'Sure.' if you ask him a question.

  He answers 'Woah, chill out!' if you yell at him.

  He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying anything.
I'm sure this is my personal biases (and possibly age) showing, but this caused me to walk away shaking my head.


I agree, it is your age and personal bias. The content of the response strings (I can only assume that's what you're complaining about) has nothing to do with the validity of the challenge.

Furthermore, the programming world has always had a goofy and awkward sense of humor.


Woah, chill out!
